In Qatar, a teacher was murdered and police have made arrests in the case.
The teacher, British woman Lauren Patterson, was last seen at 1:20 a.m. on Oct. 12 after leaving a nightclub in the country’s capital, Doha, with two men. One of them was reportedly her ex-boyfriend, a local.
She may have gotten into a taxi with a group of people, and her body was later discovered in bins near the hotel, reported the Daily Mirror.
Her boyfriend James Grima, an IT worker and a DJ, put out appeals on social media networks trying to get information about Patterson.
Qatar’s Interior Ministry announced that police have “arrested the suspects of an European woman’s murder,” but didn’t specify how many people were arrested.
“The case has been referred to Public Prosecution to complete further judicial procedures applicable in this regard,” it said.
Grima was upset with the news.
“I can’t believe that it had to end this way Lauren, really I don’t,” he said on Facebook.
“I was so happy that I had finally found someone that could my change my life so much, and in such a positive way too - Rest In Peace babe, I will always look up at the sky cause you always were the brightest star and always will be.”
Patterson was working as a teacher at Newton British School in Doha.
Alison, her mother, wrote on Facebook: “Thank you so much to everyone for all their wonderful words about Lauren.”
“She was a truly remarkable girl my rock always there for everyone. I know she’s in heaven now in her Daddy’s arms,” she added.
